"Hey, why are you crying?"

"What's there to be sad about? It's just a few deaths."

"A worthless death is not worth mentioning. Oh no, it has some value. Their greatest value is that they keep you alive."

In the night sky, the city with tall buildings emits flickering lights. The lights are bright under the tall buildings, but above the tall buildings, it is pitch black.

A figure sat quietly on the edge of the building, watching the lights and feasting in silence.

A strange shadow swayed in the air beside him, scarlet light refracted from the black fog, and the bewitching words kept lingering in the ears of the figure.

"To shut up"

It is cold and empty, without a trace of emotion, like nothingness, like a puppet.

"Isn't what I said the truth? Aren't they trying so hard to keep you alive? You are still alive now, why should you be sad? You should be happy."

The corners of Emperor Ming's eyes were curved, and he spoke with a smile, without any sign of abnormality.

"..."

The man in black clothes and a bamboo hat slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of pale eyes.

"I told you to shut up"

Xiao silently looked at the scenery below without even glancing at the figure beside him.

"Hey, don't be so cold~ Can't you smile more like before? You were such a cute child back then~"

The strange figure floated beside Xiao, put his hands on his shoulders, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly with a smile.

boom--!

Xiao suddenly raised his arm and blew up the strange figure in an instant.

"Tsk tsk, who did you learn this temper from? I remember you were not like this before."

The figure appeared beside Xiao again and was not angry because of Xiao's actions, but still teased him.

Xiao ignored them, his empty gaze fell through the tall building to the family of three who were eating together below. Looking at the smiles on their faces, Xiao suddenly had the urge to kill them.

"How about a deal?"

The figure also followed Owl's gaze and suddenly grinned, revealing blood-red fangs.

"How about you help me find the scattered powers, and I help you revive them?"

A cold gaze locked onto him, a pale color reflected in his dark red eye sockets.

"Do you think I would believe it?"

"Do I have to joke? I control the Nine Netherworlds. The birth and death of all things in the world are under my control. Isn't it easy to do something as trivial as resurrection?"

There was a playful smile on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.

"I hope you won't lie to me. You know the price of lying to me."

Xiao stared at Emperor Ming for a while, turned his head stiffly, looked at the laughter below, slowly raised his head, and gradually turned into black mist and dissipated.

The Emperor of the Underworld glanced at the scenery below, raised his broken arm, gently made a fist gesture, and then exploded violently, with a strange smile on his face.

"From this moment on, the fate of all living beings is no longer in your hands, hahahahaha~"

BlueArc International Secondary School

A handsome man with short fiery red hair and a chubby man with short brown hair were secretly following a woman.

"A Fei, is it really okay for us to sneak behind someone like this?"

Miao Tiaojun glanced at the woman in front of him, then looked at his companion beside him, feeling speechless and worried.

"What do you know? I can feel that this girl has a very special aura."

Huo Lin gave Miao Tiaojun a blank look, then looked at the girl with long pink hair.

Miao Tiaojun also curled his lips. How could he not see it? It was obvious that he liked her, and he spoke so nicely.

Just as the two were squatting under the basketball pole and continuing to watch, a basketball came out from nowhere and hit Miao Tiaojun on the head.

"Who is it? Who threw the basketball?"

Miao Tiaojun rubbed his head, looked at the basketball on the ground, and angrily grabbed the basketball and looked at it left and right.

“That’s our basketball.”

The sound came before the person, and the sudden sound made Miao Tiaojin look over.

Five people walked towards them in unison, led by a man with blue hair.

And the voice just now also came from his mouth.

"Do you know that throwing a basketball randomly is very dangerous? What if it hits someone?"

Slim and handsome boy puffed out his chest and looked up at the boy who was a head taller than him, feeling very angry.

"It's not that we threw the basketball randomly, it's that you were standing in the wrong position"

The girl among the five laughed and pointed behind them.

The two looked back and saw that they were standing under the basket, so whether the ball was thrown randomly or not, it would hit them.

"Ah this..."

Huo Linfei also scratched his head, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

"let's go"

Huo Linfei hooked the slim and handsome boy's neck and pulled him out, but was stopped by a voice behind him.

"Go ahead and give us our basketball back"

It was the person next to the blue-haired man who spoke. He was very tall and looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

Huo Linfei paused for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at the few people.

With a smile on his face, he took the basketball from Miao Tiaojun and walked towards the few people.

……

"Are you sure it's him?"

On a tree trunk far away, Owl leaned against the trunk and looked down at the ostentatious boy.

"Haven't you heard a saying? The protagonist usually has good fortune."

The shadow of Emperor Ming appeared beside him, and he laughed twice.

Xiao didn't say anything, but watched Huo Linfei showing off. When he perfectly dodged the defense of several people and stepped on the shoulder of the white-haired man and successfully dunked, the screams around him only made him feel noisy.

The restlessness in his body was constantly influencing him to kill, but he had been enduring it, not because he didn't dare, but because he didn't want to.

"Even if the protagonist doesn't have it, as long as you follow the protagonist, you will find it sooner or later."

Emperor Ming smiled and put his arm around Xiao's shoulder, not taking Huolinfei seriously at all.

The word "protagonist" he mentioned sounded like something very common.

"I do not believe"

Xiao glanced at Huo Linfei with a cold tone, then turned around and jumped down from the tree trunk.

There were obviously many people around, but no one could see Xiao or notice his existence. Even the noise made after he jumped down was mistaken by the people around him as wind.

"Whether you believe it or not, I have seen many so-called protagonists before. They also said that it was their destiny, but they were just a bunch of jokes. However, there were also many protagonists who successfully ascended to the highest position and looked down on all living beings."

Emperor Ming floated beside Xiao and talked incessantly about the so-called protagonists he had met before.

"Okay, okay, I'm not asking you to do anything. Just follow them. You might run into something interesting. Don't you want to watch the fun?"

After talking for a few sentences, Emperor Ming suddenly stopped the topic and laughed twice.

Xiao ignored him and walked out of the school gate step by step, walking aimlessly into the distance.
